The roof of a Pelham school under construction collapsed Saturday, trapping two workers underneath tons of debris.
The collapse happened at around 12 p.m. at the Colonial Elementary School on Highbrook Avenue while no children were on the premises. The school's library and art room have been undergoing an expansion.
